The Oscar-winning actress-star is recognized for a lifetime of achievement, activism and philanthropy.

The Producers Guild of America (PGA) will present producer-actress Jane Fonda with the Guild’s 2019 Stanley Kramer Award. The two-time Oscar-winner is being honored for her lifetime activism and philanthropy. She will receive the award at the 30th Annual Producers Guild Awards on January 19, 2019 at The Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles.

Fonda has worked at the top of her craft since the 1960s as an actress and producer (“Book Club” was a summer 2018 hit). Earlier this year, Fonda participated in the well-reviewed HBO documentary “Jane Fonda in Five Acts.” Next month brings the fifth season of her Netflix show “Grace and Frankie,” which she executive produces and stars.

She has also given her untiring support to many political and social causes. They include her nonprofit, the Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Power & Potential, for which she celebrated her 80th birthday last December by raising $1.3 million to lower the teen pregnancy rate and improve the overall health and well-being of young people in the state of Georgia. In the same month, Fonda raised almost $1 million for the Women’s Media Center, a nonprofit she co-founded with Gloria Steinem and Robin Morgan, whose mission is to make women and girls more visible and powerful in media.

“Jane Fonda has built an extraordinary legacy as an outspoken advocate for the vulnerable in our society,” stated PGA Presidents Gail Berman and Lucy Fisher. “Throughout her remarkable life, she has made and continues to make a significant impact on the lives of people through her work both on and off the screen. Fonda exemplifies the spirit of Stanley Kramer, and we are proud to honor her.”
